Most charges were for incidents at the main beach itself, not in the village.

On Siesta Key, one more serious crime was reported during March and April compared with the same period in 2013. The number of charges increased 42 percent.

“More people in one place increases the potential for incidents to occur,” said Sheriff Tom Knight. “By committing additional resources to one of the top destinations for citizens and visitors alike, we clearly establish that misconduct will not be tolerated.”
